Senior Civil Design Engineer

New Today

My client is a specialist engineering consultancy that focuses on high voltage and power infrastructure projects. Due to sustained project demand, they are looking to appoint a Senior Civil Engineer into a Civil Design Manager role, with responsibility for leading a small civil design team and supporting its ongoing development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Civil Design Engineer who enjoys remaining technically hands-on while also stepping into a formal leadership and people management role.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the civil and structural design function, working closely with Project Managers, Electrical Engineers, and clients across a range of high voltage (HV) projects.

Key responsibilities include:

* Leading civil / structural design delivery on HV projects (substations, foundations, cable routes, drainage, access roads, structures, reinforced concrete, steel structures)

* Managing, mentoring, and developing a small team of design engineers and engineering technicians

* Checking and approving civil / structural designs, calculations, and drawings

* Providing technical guidance and leadership across multiple projects

* Supporting tendering, project planning, and client engagement

* Helping shape civil design standards and processes within the business

Experience and Qualifications:

My client is keen to speak with experienced Civil Engineers / Structural Engineers who are comfortable combining technical delivery with team leadership, with:

* A degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or equivalent

* Experience leading or mentoring engineers (formal management experience is beneficial but not essential)

* Chartered status or working towards Chartership (ICE or similar)

* Good communication skills and a practical, solutions-focused mindset

High voltage or substation experience would be ideal, but strong transferable infrastructure experience will also be considered.

Why This Role?

* Flexible working and a collaborative, non-corporate environment
